For the past 4 years, I generally always feel sick several days before I start my period and for the first 2 or 3 days during my period. Symptoms are usually sore throat, dizziness, and even what feels like a fluttering heartbeat at times. Lately, in addition to the usual symptoms, I've begun having swollen glands on one or both sides of my neck, just below my ears and jaw line, extending downward an inch or two.

Please take this short symptom survey :)

My chihuahua has strange swollenglands under her ears. I don't know when they came up but I'm pretty sure they weren't there before. I really can't afford to take her to the vet. What are they and what should I do? Are they going to effect her health?

I am expecting my period in a few days and tend to have a lot of cramping just before my period starts, but I don't remember having this problem before.

I'm just really truly concerned about this swollen lymph gland. Like I told you before, I have an extremely complicated and long medical history, but even with all of that in my past, including some very serious illnessess, I don't think I've ever been as concerned as I am right now regarding the swollen lymph node that I now have. I just have this deep awful feeling that something is really bad with it. Wow, I hope I'm wrong.

My 5 year old dachshund has swollenglands in his neck. I checked in other areas and I don't feel anything swollen,just only in his neck. Aside from cancer, I want to know if there's any other infections or anything that he could have. He was checked in November as a check up at the Vet's appointment, and he was fine. But that was in november and it is March now, so there could be something wrong?

I have been having trouble with what I thought was swollenglands for several months in a row. I went to the doctor in Feb. and had a CBC which came back completely normal. He confirmed that the glands in my neck and groin area were swollen. They were painful too. A few weeks later, I got a cold. The swollen glands seemed to go away, but I can't really remember whether they disappeared completely or not.

We went to the doctor to see to my chest. Glands under my jaw line were a little swollen.

21/06 - Protected intercourse and unprotected oral sex.

I could breathe fine but it took about 10 more minutes of concern before I generated enough moisture to get it to go down. My epiglottis was then swollen for the next 2 or 3 days after that. I suppose the irritation caused by too-dry of food being force-swallowed past it must have irritated it.
I happens every 6 months or so for unknow reasons but it's probably from the same cause.

Over a period of one week I have noticed three swollen lymph nodes. One directly under my ear and one on each side of my neck looks like in the anterior cervical area. They've all literally grown over night and not at the same time. I'm not feeling sick. I'm not sure if my anxiety is taking over but it feels like there is something in my throat. My throat doesn't hurt not even when eating or drinking, so I'm not sure if my mind is playing games on me.

10 months ago I had protected heterosexual sex with an at risk person. Due to some worrisome symtoms i was tested 5 months after the experience.

) In the absence of any other symptoms, am I foolish to link this swollen gland to ARS? I can't recall ever having a swollen gland in my neck before.
2.) Is one week (7 days) after an encounter early to exhibit symptoms of ARS?

are lymph nodes which can swell due to any of a large number of infections both viral and bacterial, as well as due to allergic reactions, due to autoimmune disorders and other problems. For this reason we encourage clients who are concerned about swollenglands to check with their own health care providers rather than try to diagnose themselves and, if swollen lymph nodes are present, not to worry about them in relationship to HIV because they are such a non-specific problem.

There are also these things inside of your vagina on both sides called Bartholin's Glands. They are the glands that produce lubrication during sex. Sometimes these swell up for various reasons.
Just take it easy for a couple days with no sex. If it doesnt get better in a few days go see a doctor.

hello forum,
I recently had a sexual encounter about a month ago where i had unprotected intercourse with a woman. A few days ago glands on the underside of my jaw became swollen. I have also had a cough and a mildy sore throat and runny nose for a few days. I also just noticed what i believe is swollen nodes on each side of my lower abdomen just in line with my hips. Does this sound like ars symptoms?

Hi! Yes, I did have some swelling in my lymph nodes in my neck and back of my head as well. They did not last long and I just chalked it up to another sx. My last dose of meds was on April 11 and the swelling is gone and has been for awhile. I too feel stronger though I really need to learn not to push it too fast. Last week I tried to do everything I haven't in six months and felt really tired by the end, almost like I was still taking the meds. Oh well, I had fun.
Hope you feel better.

My lips swell first, then my fingers immediately..Then my entire face...I have some swollen tender glands on the right side of my neck also..I have bloodwork done every 3-6 months and the last couple of times my pottasium levels have either been too high or too low..I am scared because this happens so frequently..I usually end up in the ER to get a shot of benadryl...My esophagus is usually what sends me there..It swells and I can't stand the throat and chest pains I get..

Lymph nodes swell really easily, as they trap a lot of the junk floating through your body, and it isn't uncommon for them to stay swollen for several weeks before returning to normal size. If they remain swollen for longer than 4 - 6 weeks, you should have a doctor look at them.
Are they hard or palpable (squishy/soft)?
